This note is but a research announcement, summarizing and explaining results proven and detailed in forthcoming papers. When one studies families of objects over curves, and the objects are parametrized by a Deligne-Mumford stack M, then…

We introduce conjectures relating the Chow ring of a smooth Artin stack $\mathcal{X}$ to the Chow groups of its possibly singular good moduli space $X$. In particular, we conjecture the existence of an intersection product on a subgroup of…

Let $X$ be a smooth scheme over an algebraically closed field. When $X$ is proper, it was proved in \cite{me1} that the moduli of $\ell$-adic continuous representations of $\pi_1^\et(X)$, $\LocSys(X)$, is representable by a (derived)…

We consider the moduli spaces of flat $SL(n, C)$-bundles on Riemann surfaces with one puncture when we fix the conjugacy class ${\cal C}$ of the monodromy transformation around the puncture. We show that under a certain condition on the…

By work of Gallardo-Kerr-Schaffler, it is known that Naruki's compactification of the moduli space of marked cubic surfaces is isomorphic to the normalization of the Koll\'ar, Shepherd-Barron, and Alexeev compactification parametrizing…

Let X be a surface whose Cox ring has a single relation satisfying moreover a kind of linearity property. Under a simple assumption, we show that the geometric Manin's conjectures hold for some degrees lying in the dual of the effective…

We classify all possible automorphism groups of smooth cubic surfaces over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic. As an intermediate step we also classify automorphism groups of quartic del Pezzo surfaces. We show that…

Let $Y$ be a smooth projective surface defined over an algebraically closed field $k$ with ${\rm Char}\ k\nmid n$, and let $\pi:X\rightarrow Y$ be a $n$-cyclic covering branched along a smooth divisor $B$. We show that under some conditions…

Fix a smooth projective family of curves $C \to S$ and a split reductive group scheme $G$ over a Noetherian base scheme $S$. For any (possibly nonreduced) fixed relative Cartier divisor $D$, we provide a treatment of the moduli of…

We give a combinatorial description of the irreducible components of the moduli space $\overline{\mathcal{M}}_{0,n}(X,\beta)$ for a smooth projective toric variety $X$. The result is based on the study of the irreducible components of an…

Let $\mathbf{k}$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $\geq 7$ or zero. Let $\mathcal{A}$ be a tame order of global dimension $2$ over a normal surface $X$ over $\mathbf{k}$ such that…

We construct and prove the projectiveness of the moduli spaces which are natural generalizations to the case of surfaces of the following: 1) $M_{g,n}$, the moduli space of $n$-marked stable curves, 2) $M_{g,n}(W)$, the moduli space of…

A space $X$ is said to be $\pi$-metrizable if it has a $\sigma$-discrete $\pi$-base. In this paper, we mainly give affirmative answers for two questions about $\pi$-metrizable spaces. The main results are that: (1) A space $X$ is…

Moduli of vector bundles on stacky curves behave similarly to moduli of vector bundles on curves, except there are additional numerical invariants giving many different notions of stability. We apply the existence criterion for good moduli…

Algebraic varieties which are locally isomorphic to open subsets of affine space will be called {\em plain}. Plain varieties are smooth and rational. The converse is true for curves and surfaces, and unknown in general. It is shown that…

Notes of three talks given at the workshop 'Hilbert schemes, non-commutative algebra and the McKay correspondence' CIRM-Luminy (France) October 2003. If A is an order over a central normal affine variety X having a stability structure such…

We show that the moduli space of genus zero stable maps is a real projective variety if the target space is a smooth convex real projective variety. We show that evaluation maps, forgetful maps are real morphisms. We analyze the real part…

We give criteria for the existence of geometric smoothings of a proper lci scheme or a DM stack $X$ as well as for a polarized lci scheme $(X,L)$, without assuming that $X$ is reduced. As applications, we give criteria for the smoothability…

We give an algebraic construction of the moduli space of irregular singular connections of generic ramified type on a smooth projective curve. We prove that the moduli space is smooth and give its dimension. Under the assumption that the…

We study moduli spaces $M_X(r,c_1,c_2)$ parametrizing slope semistable vector bundles of rank $r$ and fixed Chern classes $c_1, c_2$ on a ruled surface whose base is a rational nodal curve. We show that under certain conditions, these…
